Hearing Ye Junlin’s outrageous statement, Dao Wuhen was so furious he almost spat blood, his whole body trembling.
“You really are damned!”
His tone dripped with killing intent, filled with endless rage.
Dao Wuhen had no choice but to give up attacking the formation and went all out against Ye Junlin; he knew that if this kid wasn’t dealt with, he’d be the one to die first!
Shijia Shengsi also realized the severity of the situation and quickly teamed up with Dao Wuhen to attack.
A fierce battle erupted between the three.
Rosa watched the scene with excitement, clapping her hands. “Well done! Ye, teach them a good lesson! I’ll be there to help!”
Even though Rosa didn’t quite understand why Ye Junlin was doing this, because if it were her, she’d have called for a truce first to face a common enemy.
But since things had escalated to this point, she didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire!
Soon, Rosa began manipulating the formation to create trouble, launching a sneak attack on Dao Wuhen and Shijia Shengsi to disrupt their moves.
Boom, boom, boom~
Explosions erupted within the formation, with countless colorful bursts of light, revealing three figures weaving through the chaos.
“Ye Tian Emperor, you traitor of the Divine Court! You dare collude with the Asura Clan’s princess!”
Dao Wuhen was feeling miserable; Ye Junlin was already a major headache for him, and now an Asura Clan princess was added to the mix, putting him in a passive position.
Consumed by rage, he resorted to slandering Ye Junlin.
“Heh, say what you want,” Ye Junlin replied with a mocking smile.
He actually had to thank Rosa, the scheming little girl, for breaking the stalemate and turning the tide of battle.
Otherwise, defeating Dao Wuhen and the others alone would have been no easy feat!
To put it bluntly, Rosa was the biggest variable!
“Ugh,” Shijia Shengsi soon felt blood pooling at the corner of his mouth, being pushed back step by step, and his Buddhist artifacts were shattered.
With the formation’s relentless attacks and Ye Junlin’s provocations, his mental state was deteriorating, and he couldn’t help but hate Rosa, who was causing trouble behind him.
“You old bald donkey, I once promised myself that if I ever got my hands on you again, I’d ensure you have no place to die!”
“Now, it’s time to fulfill that promise!”
Ye Junlin charged toward Shijia Shengsi like a force of nature, his sword tip gleaming dazzlingly.
Seeing this, a shadow of death loomed over Shijia Shengsi, making him feel like doom was imminent.
Recalling everything he had experienced, he absolutely didn’t want to die just like this; after all, he was the Buddha’s son and had a bright future ahead of him.
Thus, feeling reluctant, Shijia Shengsi decided to go all in.
“Buddha Kingdom in Hand!”
Shijia Shengsi raised his hand and shouted.
Boom, boom, boom~
In an instant, a vast golden hand appeared, cradling an expansive Buddha Kingdom within it, filled with millions of monks chanting and meditating.
The soft sounds of chanting emanating from the Buddha Kingdom stirred an intense desire in countless cultivators to join the Buddhist Sect!
Without a doubt.
This was a top-tier divine ability of the Buddhist Sect, a testament to the enduring heritage of the Buddha Clan.
“Add me to the mix!”
Dao Wuhen had completely thrown caution to the wind; even if it meant his own demise, he had to kill this silver-haired youth before him.
In that moment, his aura skyrocketed terrifyingly, an unstoppable force coalescing in his fist, revealing an ancient and mysterious rhythm of the Dao.
“Sacrificial Dao Fist!”
He roared.
Dao Wuhen unleashed his strongest killing move.
Sacrificial Dao Fist, as the name suggests, required the sacrifice of one’s own Dao to obtain immense power.
It was a classic case of injuring oneself while attempting to defeat the enemy.
But its power was extraordinarily terrifying!
For someone like Dao Wuhen, once he chose to sacrifice his own Dao, it was evident what kind of monstrous strength he could unleash.
This punch could obliterate someone slightly stronger than a Saint Ancestor!
“Fine, you all go big, then I’ll go big too!”
Seeing the opportunity ripe, Ye Junlin activated the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition, and his aura surged sky-high in an instant.
At the same time, the apparition behind him conjured a long sword as thin as a cicada’s wing.
Each stage of the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition unlocked a new technique, and since Ye Junlin was now at the tenth level of the Saint King Realm, he naturally could unlock an entirely new move.
This move just happened to involve swords!
“Time Slash!”
With a clear shout.
Ye Junlin made a swift and decisive sword slash, and the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition mirrored his action.
In that moment, a strange illusion took shape, making one feel that the silver-haired youth and the mighty figure behind him were melding into one.
Swish, swish, swish!
Sleek, autumn-like blades of energy sliced through the air, infused with the corrosive power of time.
The Buddha Kingdom and Sacrificial Dao Fist faced immense resistance, unable to inflict devastating damage on Ye Junlin.
But that was not the key; the crucial part was that every time Ye Junlin executed Time Slash, it carried an imperceptible force of time that significantly sapped the lifespan of his targets!
As a result, Shijia Shengsi and Dao Wuhen’s lifespans were being drastically reduced, their youthful appearances gradually morphing into middle age, even edging into old age.
To put it in perspective.
For powerful beings at their level, lifespans typically began in the hundreds of billions of years, and now they were being frantically diminished, like water slipping through their fingers, never to be regained!
Who wouldn’t feel terrified by such a transformation?!
“This is the power of time! This is the strength of eras!” Dao Wuhen, with his hair turned white and his features aged, looked like an old man on the brink of death, his voice trembling with fear.
Time is revered, space is king.
Compared to the power of space, the ability to control time is even more captivating.
Now, every swing of Ye Junlin’s sword accelerated Dao Wuhen’s aging invisibly, mercilessly slicing away at his longevity, dipping into the power of time!
Such a method was utterly indefensible!
Even Dao Wuhen felt powerless before it, helplessly watching his precious lifespan be caught in a downward spiral, transforming from a spirited youth into a withering old man!
“Ye Tian Emperor, spare me!” Shijia Shengsi, whose brows had gone grey and whose body resembled a withered tree, felt intense panic and despair, pleading in his heart as he disregarded his status.
If this continued, he would truly die!
Ye Junlin scoffed, “If I had known this would happen, why didn’t you think of that earlier? You put yourself in this position, and you can blame no one but yourself!”
Then, he recklessly expended his power, repeatedly unleashing Time Slash, ruthlessly reducing Dao Wuhen and Shijia Shengsi’s lifespans to their limits.
The blood and qi depleted Dao Wuhen and Shijia Shengsi could no longer maintain their techniques.
At this moment.
The two had become frail old men radiating a stench of decay, nearing the end of their lives with zero vitality left.
“Die!”
Ye Junlin’s eyes were icy; he swung his final blow, the voice ringing cold as iron, echoing throughout the Kunlun Realm.
“No…” Dao Wuhen and Shijia Shengsi raised their cries of despair, and in the next moment, their bodies trembled as the faint spark of life within them was snuffed out, their gazes turning hollow.
Two aging corpses disintegrated like dust in the wind, gradually vanishing.
Silence reigned between heaven and earth.
The countless cultivators stared blankly, their minds buzzing.
Who could have imagined that the revered top ten prodigies of the Supreme Rankings fell today at the hands of a single person!
“Ye Tian Emperor has… slain the rankings…” one foreign being stammered, hair standing on end.
